Lindvior Dominators

Iss Enchanter Started Last reply 23 posts
So who plans on changing back to Dominator after Lindvior?
I'm just curious of some other players opinions, personally I miss my old domi and all the Debuffs. I've read and heard mixed reviews on Domi's not getting to keep the sontas which is the only reason I wouldnt want to go back to Domi but probably will anyways.
The thing about Sonatas is old and outdated, it's not true anymore.
i've been in line to be Dominator since they were first introduced to the game. i'll continue down this path even if it brings hardships not seen since days of old.
Like I said, I heard both on the sontas but most saying we were keeping them....kinda hard to be for sure with how wishy washy NCsoft is. I'm sure I'll play Domi either way. I miss the old play style and I am surely looking forward to Lindvior and hopefully some good old days L2 feelings.

Fidgit, just curious what are you looking forward to most on new domi?
i'm curious about the land rates on the new debuff. (missing old Blockade)
i'm wondering if buff cancel will be a threat.

because i recall domi being useful at thwarting buff cancels.

the cp heal i'm not looking forward to, although the olden clan cp heal was relevant at 1000 cp with healers healing cp, it doesn't seem worth it.

meaning that they have stripped non clan sonatas? or did they change their mind about taking those?
Basically what i keep reading and understanding, is that dominators are going straight back to CLAN ONLY buffs..... or has that changed?

same here..... just got used to being able to party outside of clan, less solo grind

The meaning of my post is that Iss Dominators keep their Sonatas, but for what I understand they basically go back to be clan-wide buffers.
I'm under the impression that Korean players raged a lot against taking the Sonatas from the Dominators, and that's why it got changed so quickly...
it's clan based as it should be for Domi's and they're one of the strongest pvp ISS type out there so yeah..

in a nutshell nothing has changed compared to old Domi as without a good clan/party you're going to face some hard times as you can't xp effectively with randoms etc. so no more party match system based xp.

SO iss doms buffs will not affect out of clan party members anymore? I had heard rumors, but had not been able to find anything official in a language I am able to read.
hmm good question, I'm not sure about that but if they will return the Domi-ISS to true Domi style then it should be clan bufs aka for all clan members even those not in your party..

btw have a look at this korean youtube as that tank is in party with an Domi-ISS

from what i am understanding, its going back to original dominator style....even more so, because NO buffs from a dom will work with out of clan members,,,, from what i am understanding from the posts. The sonatas will not be the same ones.... they are replacing the sonatas with "clan like" sonatas. Unless they reconsider the changes due to the lack of enthusiasm from the koreans ( i pray for that lol).
based on that video, the sonatas are still there.
they're blueish now instead of red, which is fine with me.

the old, old overlord buffs were clan only.
then it changed and became easier.
then it changed more, and became really easy.
and easier, and easier...

this would make it harder than it's been for a long while.
but totally worth it.
If they make it old style, they should take it back to when you could affect your entire alliance with buffs and heals. That would make me really happy. Just removing the party aspect and leaving it clan only just kind of irks me for some reason. I party with people from my clan and ally and if I cannot buff them anymore, I will lose my spot with the group of people I seem to play with more. That is why I am concerned.
Gecklar, u got it. with so many ISS's now, with same buffs..... what would make a domi ISS that can only do clan desireable? hope the clan only buffs are amped up, because before all this, my clan buffs were non preferred, was either misunderstood or not preferred, especially for non clan party. Always someone better to have in party as far as buffers went. watch them make the domi buffs weaker than other iss's or equal, as before. IRP is a kind word compared to how i feel
from what I've seen the Domi-ISS will be the strongest pvp iss if it's mass debuf related and it can spam the CP increase buff so yeah it's not bad at all imo..
Dominator is actually the best Iss outside of Oly, so expect to get many clan/cp invitations if you are one :p

Overlords weren't primarily buffers. PP/Necro ST Buffs/Debuffers, WC/OL Group/AoE Buffs/Debuffers. That has always been clear, so rolling an OL to be a great buffer was always a pretty idiotic goal.

No one will care that much about it, other than maybe having one leveled Iss Dominator in clan for sieges and events like that.

Anyone who isn't Orc will be locked out from it, anyways. Doesn't NCSoft know that Race class restrictions are for 2001?
Never expected to be a great buffer, but a buffer non the less, just saying when GREAT buffs werent needed, but still preferred.....was hard to party
The problem is that we are now a buffer. The ISS dom debuff will be almost useless, no one really uses standard attacks much in PvP.

I rolled mine to be an AoE debuffer (and somewhat ally buff way long time ago). That role is essentially gone now. It is back to mass buffs/CP battery. It was fun pulling trains of 100+ mobs in Cruma 2 AOE parties back in the day and then throwing a lot of debuffs and everyone saying how amazing it was that they took so much less damage.
Physical skills.
Which is nice for pvp I suppose.
The standard attack rebuff was great for aoe pve.
Day 2 as dominator, bringing back some familiar memories. Dont think i want to tuff it out for another 4 years. They dropped our stats btw.
